Last week, lots and lots of tantalizing rumors about Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice were released. There were new villains and heroes, but then a report from Movie Web threw some cold water on all the fun. They claimed that an anonymous source deep within Warner Bros. had sent them a letter informing them that the information was from a fake script - written by Kevin Smith. A wild claim, but a claim that has caught the interest of the internet. Smith hasn't addressed the claim, until now.

Riddle me this, riddle me that! Did I write a diversionary script for the Bat? Let me tell you a story... Tomorrow morning at 11am PST.

The script itself is pretty poor. It's clearly fake, but it seems too fake. I can't tell if Smith wrote and made it lazy on purpose, or if some random fan wrote it and tried passing it off as Smith's script.

@Sipprelle: Yeah, it's either Smith or some fan that got lucky. If Smith did indeed write it, then all those grammatical errors that make it seem like some random high schooler wrote just kinda adds to the brilliance of the situation.

I think this kind of deception is truly needed the way we are with inside scoops, spoilers and what not. Fake or not, I'm at work for another 7 hrs so I don't mind getting paid 20 bucks to spend a hour or 2 reading this.

If that truly is the script being passed around, then the people reporting on it must be stupider than i previously thought. How the [frick] can anyone possibly believe that script is legit? It oozes fan-fic.

@Sipprelle: I know, if it really is from Smith, then LR and ourselves got trolled by Silent Bob. If it's from some random fan, then LR and ourselves got trolled by, well some random fan (even worse). And I only watched a couple of seconds of that video. I cringed as soon as he opened his mouth.

What's with that ridiculous Superman holding Batman fan pic? Every article on this movie everywhere has that pic, now. I just saw it on i09 and there was no commentary about the pic at all. Everyone is acting like it's official, like some collective joke the entire Internet is in on.
